Looking at the "clay figure fragments" in your hand, even though they appeared to be made entirely of clay, He-Gu seemed to smell a strong scent of blood.
Judging by the number of fragments, it was clear that more than one "clay figure" had been torn apart here.
He-Gu frowned and stepped forward, leaning closer to a few clay heads held by clay arms to take a look at their faces. As expected, they were challengers!
After confirming these were challengers, He-Gu immediately became extremely vigilant.
